New Online Marketers – Starting A Website?

Many people have been wondering how to create a website.

Well, there are sales sites, there are portal sites and there are blogs. If you want to create a website, you will need to have a web hosting service that actually gets you started.

First cut, you need a pre-installed software called Fantastico. In all my years online, I’ve never seen a software that allows instant installation of very complex software the way I use Fantastico. Of course, the most important part is HOW in the world do I set up my website. See, everyone needs to learn a bit of HTML. You can pick this up anywhere you go, but I would recommend that if you want a professional looking website, you must have a few tools of the trade. Treat this as your investment in education for the long term.

In the future, I can guarantee that everyone on the planet will understand HTML, and those who don’t will have trouble finding employment.

Anyhow, HTML is a very simple thing to do. All you need to do is Google for “html tutorial” and you’ll find tons of free resources to use.

Of course, you need your webhost installed to play with HTML. I’d always suggest heading down to this web host provider to get you webhosting service. Set up a blog using Fantastico, then start populating it with content.

What content, you might ask.

(1) make sure it’s in an industry where people advertise
(2) make sure it’s in an area where people are interested in the ads
(3) make sure there are more than 5 ads in Google
(4) check if there are popular Forums on that topic area (use www.Big-Boards.com)
(5) check if you can get video or photo content of this area.

If you can fulfill at least the first 4 criteria, you’re on a roll, then you only need to generate about a post a day. You could double it and have 2 a day to maintain a healthy blog. Once you have done this for about 14-21 days, you should have a good understanding of blogging.

Then once you have the hang of it, get a few more hosting accounts and set up a few more blogs. Remember to link them all together because by linking them, you actually get better inter-blog pagerank being passed to you. For all intents and purposes, you don’t need to know about Google PageRank yet, but you should install the Google Toolbar.

Once you have enough content, you can apply for Google Adsense. This will have people monetize on your blog by clicking on the ads. If you need more info, read the terms of use for Adsense on the site itself.

I recommend that you learn about blogging from this resource. This will help you to master the art of blogging even if you have nothing else to sell. If you need articles to be written for you, I would recommend that you check out our forums and make a request there.

I hope this has been useful for you, and you should really get these items because this is going to be your shortest shortcut to blogging anywhere!
